Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: First goal: First half — 1.4
Although Hibernian are the favourites to get the win, their form in recent games has been abysmal. They lost four of their last five matches. They play at home against Livingston that drew two of their last five games.
Hibernian are dreadful at the back, having conceded 26 goals in 17 matches. Livingston are also struggling in the attack but five out of Hibernian’s last six matches ended with over 1.5 goals, hence this game should end similarly.
Four of Hibernian’s last six matches had at least one goal in the first half. In the reverse fixture, Livingston scored in the first half as the game ended 2-1 win their favour.
Hibernian are dreadful in recent games, having lost four league games on the bounce, for this reason they the 8th position with 20 points after 17 matches.
The Livi Lions are decent, having won two of their last five matches. Despite having played 15 games, Livingston are currently occupying the 6th position with 23 points and are two points behind 3rd-placed Aberdeen, who have played a game more.
Livingston are the underdogs but their recent form screams otherwise. The Livi Lions won the reverse fixture 2-1 and there are chances they could repeat the same next week.
Livingston won the reverse clash 2-1 and because both teams are lacking a bit at the back, we could see a score draw.
It’s totally safe to expect the game to produce at least two goals at full-time. The reverse fixture ended with over 2.5 goals.
Martin Boyle and Mykola Kukharevych are injured.
